The Delegation of the European Union in Honduras commemorated Europe Day with a series of activities throughout the month of May.

On May 9th, a reception was held, attended by representatives of the Government of Honduras, civil society, academia, the diplomatic corps, private sector and others. At the beginning of the reception, guests enjoyed a concert of European music performed by the National Philharmonic of Honduras.

Among the events, there was an exhibition of the European Union and its Member States in Tegucigalpa's Central Park. This exhibition, which was open to the public, was accompanied by eight living paintings of European artists and a concert of European classical and contemporary music.

Aimed mainly at university students and teachers, a forum on Russia's invasion of Ukraine was held at the National University to reflect on the global and local impact on different sectors as well as the sanctions implemented by the European Union. The role of Honduras as a multilateral actor was also highlighted and its position taken at the UN General Assembly and other international fora, including the Human Rights Council, where Honduras has supported all EU backed resolutions.

The 10th anniversary of the EU-Central America Association Agreement was celebrated as part of the Europe month activities in Honduras. A forum was held in which the impact and perspective of the Agreement in the trade area was emphasised.

For young students and professionals, an information event was held to inform about the Erasmus+ scholarship programme and the bilateral scholarships of the Member States in Honduras. In the event Honduran Eramus+ alumni shared their experiences and encouraged others to discover Erasmus.

In parallel and with the joint effort as Team Europe, European films were screened weekly in five cities around the country, and a workshop on European gastronomy and a cycle of European children's stories were held during the month of Europe.
